These Are My Most Used & End Game Persona Builds for Merciless in Persona 3 Reload

how's it going YouTube rosin here today I've got another Persona 3 reload video for you though instead of my usual build videos we're going to be doing something a little bit different now that I finished my 100% playthrough on merciless mode I thought it'd be interesting to go through the compendium and show you all of the Persona I used well specifically show you the Persona I used the absolute most throughout my merciless playthrough and then once we get to the end of the compendium I'll go over all the in-game Persona I made even though I actually didn't really use most of them but I still made them so I'll go ahead and showcase them now I won't be showcasing how to actually build these Persona here this is more just to show you what I used kind of go over why I use them and just you know maybe use that for you guys to give you inspiration on how you can maybe build your own Persona or if there's any that you particularly want to see a build video for there's enough requests for that I can go ahead and make a build video for that so hopefully you like this it's my first time doing something like this with a Persona or smmt title usually I just do my build videos and go from there but I thought this would be a little bit you know something new to try so let's get into it so for the first Persona that I got the most use out of in Persona 3 reload it was actually this Five Element Fortuna it's not a six element Fortuna because you don't really need the dark element in the early stages of the game but this will allow you to hit the weakness of most enemies for the first two blocks and then it also has the spirit drain and drainability which help with MP efficiency when going through those blocks in one night now if you're curious about this one I actually do have a build video for this already on the channel so you can check that out if you want to see how to make this uh but this was the very first Persona I really went out of my M to make and used it for quite a while the second Persona that I got the most use out of was actually the six element Queen mave obviously it can hit all six of the elements and then it has multi-target boost to increase damage invigor 8 2 is there for MP efficiency and the main reason I ended up making this one is because I started to run into a lot of encounters where being able to hit two or three targets was more MP efficient than just hitting one Target and so having this around was a great help again this is another one that I have a build video for already so you can check that out on the channel if you want to see how to make this next up is the svati which was actually the first healing Persona I made for the playthrough diarama and medama are no-brainers myatra and maudi are there for clearing out nasty satus ailments on the party Dodge Al because I couldn't get access to resist a Le at this point in the game and then I also put the drain ability with life drain and spirit drain package on her to help out the life drain portion of this is for if I brought her in for a boss fight and wanted to stay on her to help with healing I could also still be doing a little bit of damage in the meantime because life drain with drain ability is 70 damage per pop and at this point in the game is not actual horrible damage there's obviously better you can do but it's not bad and then very quickly after making that S saati I actually made this sakim mitama which is another healing Persona and believe it or not I actually used both of them because they kind of filled two different roles once I had them both made svati had the ability to drain SP as well as to cure status elements and sakim mama was there for protection and just way more healing because I was able to get divine grace on it as you can see the Saku Tama has no weaknesses resists almost everything has the diarama mediarama and rarm I have resist strike resist dark on there which is Shoring up its only weaknesses and then I managed to fit in drainability and life drain for the same reason I had the life drain portion on svati I could swap to this Persona I could be super safe on my main character and still be doing some damage not great damage but again some damage I ended up swapping between the two of these for a good portion of game until I got my next dealer so definitely recommend them the next Persona that I got a decent amount of use out of is actually this physical flos that I've done a build video on get and torrent shot are the two abilities of choice to deal slash and Pierce damage and then we have slash boost and Pierce boost to increase their damage output Getsu was specifically chosen because of its innate crit rate chance which pairs well with app people and crit rate boost to give you a nice chance to critically strike with this again if you want to know more about this one check out my build video guide on it the next Persona that I got a good amount of use out of is actually this light focused Toth build that I made for dealing with boss fights as well as really strong enemies that didn't have weaknesses the reason I made this Persona is because I got a lucky skill transformation that turned into light amp really early and I wanted to make use of it I chose Toth for this because he naturally learned concentrate and so I was able to pass down everything to give him Koga light boost light amp and single Target boost and then he has resist strike and resist dark to get rid of his only weaknesses the megido is there not because it's actually good for the build that was mainly there as a concession to wanting to deal with golden hands as I was going through Tartarus and I didn't want to make a whole another Persona just for that cuz there are some that have no weaknesses and so I had Toth deal with that for a decent amount of my playthrough next up is my Pierce focused kuf fooding which I have done a build video on so if you want to know more about it you can check that out but it's a pretty standard kufu de build it focuses on Pierce damage of course with vile assault because vile assault hits like a truck and then I increase the damage of that with you know Pierce boost single Target boost charge and give it some increased crit chance with ap pupil and crit rate boost the main reason I actually chose kuf foodin for this is because he's kind of known as being a really good persona to bridge the gap between the early game to the late game and he did an excellent job here as well following KU fooding we have my six Element black frost build which I also do have a build video on if you're curious on how to make it but essentially this was a direct upgrade to my Fortuna build and it served the same purpose however because I did want to pick up AA for that Sixth Element and because I wanted to resist light so it had no weaknesses I did have to give up drainability and spirit drain but that's fine because I didn't really need them anymore at this point in the game the next Persona is actually this healing parva who served as the direct upgrade to the saati I showcased a little bit earlier the idea of the Persona is the same I have the good heals and diarama metarama and then the ability to cure status ailments and then I also have the spirit drain and drain ability to get back some MP when necessary however this time I was able to pick up resist fire that way I have no weaknesses and then divine grace to increase my healing output with her and finally we have my first entrance buffer Persona in ketac cotle obviously we have all three of the Auto Buffs for my main character to buff him at the start of each encounter and then I have invigorate one and invigorate two so that when he he's getting Auto buffed he's also getting 8s which does add up over time the main reason that I chose kotle is because with one resist dark I was able to make it to I had no weaknesses just in case the enemy did get to go first moving on I have my ice element Tania build which essentially replaced my Light Element Toth just due to the higher stats we use badine with ice amp and ice boost as well as single Target boost in order to increase the amount of damage it deals and then obviously concentrate further increases that damage I then took invigorate 3 just to help out with SP efficiency during boss fight and then the resist fire is there to shore up her only weakness finally I give her resist dark because I had an extra slot and just having resistance to dark is always nice to have next is my six element Anubis who served as my replacement for Queen mave and as you can see by his level I did use him for quite a while upgrading to Anubis obviously gave me better stats but the real big Advantage was not having any weaknesses which allowed me to fit in the incredibly impressive life Aid which may as well be Victory cry assuming that you have a high enough SP pool next up is jayu who I turned into a healing Persona and he did a fantastic job at it I was able to get diarama and metarama and sarm on him and he comes with omry to shower which basically covers everything you could need for healing no and N Pierce Shore up his only weaknesses and then resist dark made it to where he was only actually vulnerable to strike and slash damage with everything else either being nullified absorbed or resisted divine grace is just there to boost the healing of medama but you could replace it with something else next up is suzaku who replaced ketak cotle as my entrance buffer at this point I was able to get access to a masuku otom maraku and AO Rebellion unfortunately I still didn't have access to OT mataru so I was still using Auto tarukaja resist ice made it so that suzaku had no weaknesses and then I was able to add invigorate three alongside invigorate 1 and invigorate 2 so that I got 15 SP at the beginning of every single battle something that really did add up over time and effectively gave me infinite SP while traversing through tartaris Bishop mon was my upgrade to KU foodin being an incredibly powerful Pierce Focus physical attacker Primal force is the main attack of choice and Myriad arrows is for AOE situations of course we take charge and then null ice is there to sh up his only weakness Pierce amp and Pierce boost are there to increase his damage even further and then apt pupil and crate r amp are taken in order to make it so that he crits more often than not next is my wind Focus Norm build who I have made a video on if you're curious on how to make her but essentially she is a single Target wind Focus Persona that revolves around the panther Ray spell which hits like an absolute truck everything here is designed to boost the output and efficiency of that spell and then also you have the N so that she has no weaknesses and following norn we have yet another Powerhouse Persona who can carry you to the end of the game if you want him to and yet another one that I have done a build video on if you're curious how to make him and that is my slash focused Sig freed Brave blade is the single target attack of choice with vorpal blade being backup for AOE situations of course we take charge app Tuple create amp SL boost slamp all pretty standard stuff and then resist dark so that he has no weaknesses it was at this point everyone lost faith I know I know what you want to say but hear me out yes this is a six element Alice build yes this was made entirely with skill cards and yes it was partially a meme to make this Persona this way but I also did it because I just wanted to use Alice in this playthrough cuz I use Alice in almost every single smt or Persona title that she's available in and I do know that it is kind of blasphemy to not use Alice with die for me but die for me is the exact reason I actually didn't end up using Alice as my main dark Persona in this game you see die for me is actually a little too good for Persona 3 reload if you run around with die for me and mudo boost you're going to kill a lot of stuff very quickly but when you're doing that you're not getting downs and when you're not Downing the enemy you're not getting all out attacks and when you're not getting all out attacks to finish off enemies you're not guaranteeing Shuffle time which Shuffle time is a huge boost to your player power because of all the money and experience and skill cards and whatever you can get from it basically she is too efficient if you build her as a traditional dark user and keep die for me so I used a different persona for my dark persona but I still wanted to use Alice and I figured I have all these skill cards to make a multi-element AOE Persona so why not do it is this the best use of Alice absolutely not but it was fun anyways moving on we have ho who I ended up turning into my sort of late game healer I have Dian and salvation and summer Karm so we have full heals and revivals I kept invigorate three no le n Pierce Firm Stance and spell master there's really not much more you could ask for on a healing Persona it full heals cures all status ailments revives is super tanky and also super fast next and finally with adaka I have the first real dedicated strike Persona that I made add a couple others that I used here and there just to be able to deal strike damage with my main character but adaka was the first real strike Persona that I made as I was able to get access to both God's hand and a arts and then also have null ice to remove his weakness Firm Stance because it's just fantastic and then the usual package of Apt people in crit rate amp as well as strike amp and strike boost moving on from aaka we have my first true in-game Persona in Odin now I do have a build video on this so if you're curious how I made this exact build you can go ahead and check that out but essentially this was my in-game El Persona now I left shock boost on him because it's good for like trash enemies and some of the harder enemies you can face in tardus but if you were only going to use this against boss fights I would actually get rid of shock boost and replace that with probably single Target boost or if you want to remake him even later in the game magic ability next up is my six element Loki build which I do have a build video on if you're curious how I made him but essentially he was my replacement for black Frost and I ended up using him clear up until almost the very end of the game of course we have all six of the main elements on him no fire so that he has no weakness and then I kept spellmaster because it helps with SP efficiency and also because he was the first access I got to spellmaster so I was able to use it to pass it around to other persona next up is scok who I ended up turning into my endgame entrance buffer as I was able to get all three of the auto AOE Buffs as well as Auto rebellion and then of course I kept the three invigorates so that I get 15 SP per battle and then null fire so that she has no weaknesses saturnist was my in-game fire Persona of choice making use of Inferno along with fire amp and fire boost to deal large amounts of damage I also added in single Target boost as well spell master inv vigorate 3 are for SP efficiency repel ice so that we have no weakness and Firm Stance because it's just great next up is masakado who replaced Sig freed as my in-game SLP Persona of choice I of course kept most of the build the same from Sig freed keeping Brave blade and vpal blade apt pupil Cate amp SL boost SL amp and then I gave him no so he has new weaknesses and Firm Stance because it's fantastic now the main reason I swapped to masakado was because of the higher base stats as well as just his resistances making him a lot more tanky next is Thanos who is my in-game dark user of choice over Alice now the primary advantage that Thanos has over Alice is his significantly better resistances give him no light and Firm Stance and he basically takes no damage when compared with her it also helps that you don't have to worry about trying to fit in diapir or mudo boost or feeling bad about not including them which allows us to get the full setup of dark amp dark boost spell master and single Target boost while also incorporating Vig 3 for the SP efficiency though you could swap this to something a bit more offensive if you wanted to add magic ability as well Vishnu became my my charge concentrate and debilitate user initially I had planned to use masakado for this role and I actually did for a little while but then I turned masakado into my in-game slash user and so I needed to find someone else to fit this role for me and it just kind of landed on Vishnu as being the best use for me based on what I was doing with my other persona it doesn't actually have to be Vishnu but this is the setup I went with essentially I have charge concentrate and debilitate I can swap to him every other turn for charge or concentrate I can debilitate when necessary n dark is there to sh up his only weakness Firm Stance is because it's just fantastic as a defensive ability invigor8 3 and spellmaster are for SP efficiency and I left unshaken will on to help with status ailments just in case I got hit with them while I was on him next up we have my in-game Almighty user of choice and Satan who I chose for this role because of her unique ability black Viper black Viper is an incredibly hard hitting single Target Almighty attack and she is the only one who can use it I then rounded this out with Morning Star to give her an AOE option as well these are both boosted by Almighty amp and Almighty boost and yes I know Almighty amp is pure luck on whether you get it but I actually got lucky on the literal very last day of the game so I went ahead and remade her with this before that I actually had I believe Firm Stance in place of Almighty amp but other than that spellmaster and invigorate 3 are there for SP efficiency null Fizz to well null all physical attacks and repel wind Shores up her only weakness next up is Shiva who ended up being my in-game Pierce Persona and was actually the physical Persona I probably used use the most throughout the entire endgame largely due to the incredible power of pra Pria is an AOE ability that is unique to Shiva that deals a boatload of damage and also has a innate 20% chance to crit and 50% chance to fear it is truly devastating and one of the few abilities throughout the entire smt and Persona series that can compete with Yoshi tsun's hot toi resist ice I actually used as a skill card in order to shore up shiva's only weakness this is just due to wanting to pass down so many things to Shiva not having the slots for it and I didn't have a null ice card so I had to use resist ice instead Firm Stance is there because it's fantastic arms Master because it's going to lower the HP damage you're taking from using Pria and then apt pupil and crit rate amp are there to increase the crit rate of Pria with Pierce amp and Pierce boost to increase its damage and then for my in-game strike Persona I chose to use oera giving him God's hand aasha Arts drain wind to shore up his only weakness Firm Stance because it's fantastic and then the usual apt people Cate amp strike camp and strike boost next up is H who I kind of just forced into an ingame win Persona role simply just because I could have continued using norn norn would have been perfectly fine but I wasn't actually using H for anything because Satan was my in-game Almighty Persona and I just wanted to use H because I kind of felt bad not doing it and so I just forced him into being a win Persona setup is pretty standard Panter Ray infig great three spell master Firm Stance n Ice wind damp wind boost and Magic ability for my in-game ice user of choice I actually went with Lucifer giving him diamond dust ice amp ice boost and single Target boost now you could replace single Target boost with magic ability but I didn't feel like refusing him again just for that and you also get magic ability from your best weapon for the main character so I went with this instead resist physical and Firm Stance combined to make him a tanky Beast that takes very little damage and then invigorate 3 and spellmaster are there for SP efficiency and finally we have my last in-game Persona in Messiah who I chose to turn in to a Healer now the main reason I chose to make Messiah A Healer is because well with null physical and Firm Stance Messiah is not Immortal but pretty darn close though I still gave him enduring Soul as just sort of a backup plan just in case something went bad invigorate 3 and spellmaster are there to help with SP efficiency and megone is there because I just decided not to get rid of it actually plan to get rid of it and then ended up not getting rid of it and it's still here so yeah it's just it's just whatever replace it with whatever you want if you choose to make Messiah healer or keep it doesn't really matter and then last but not least we have the orus Telos that I made for the Elizabeth encounter Morning Star is the damaging spell of choice heat Riser is there to buff ourselves and concentrate is to further increase the damage of Morning Star essentially use these on a rotation spellmaster and invigorate 3 are there to help maintain my SP Firm Stance is there to combine with orus ts's resistances to make it so that we take very little damage regenerate three is to help heal up that damage that we do take and then finally I added Almighty amp to further increase morning Stars damage there are a couple other persona that I had for this fight for basically taking damage with enduring soul and endure but this was the main persona for that fight and that'll do it for this video going over my most used Persona and my in-game Persona and Persona 3 reload let me know if you want to see a dedicated video for any of these
